Dear Mayor Muriel Bowser and Councilmember Robert White,
I know our city is facing budget pressures, and you are considering what priorities to fund. As a citizen of the District, I urge you to fund these three items:
- Give grocery companies incentives to build stores in areas that don’t have enough sources of healthy, nutritious food. No more “food deserts” in our city!
- Sufficiently fund affordable housing in areas without much of it to help get people off our streets and hasten the end of homelessness. Housing is a human right!
- Make sure we have enough police on our streets so we can feel safer and more secure than we do now.
